That's how I figure it, too. Everyone decides differently how to spend their play money.
DC and Philly at least win, and go to the Super Bowl every 10 years or so. Try explaining why people spend all their money to go see the Lions.

About 4 coaches ago, the Lions had a Coach (Wayne Fontes) and alltime great (Sanders) and an adequate QB (Scott Mitchell) and they made it to the playoffs most years. They always lost first round though, and the fans found that unacceptable.

Since they fired Wayne it has been one dramatic drop.

I went to the Texans game last week with a recovering Lions fan. She kept on yelling to the fans booing Carr that at least we have a fairly decent quarterback.

So you're saying the lots in East Lansing should be pretty empty the next few Saturdays?

Ooh, I can just feel the crackling tension! "Oh, yeah! Well, at least we have a fairly decent quarterback!"

Total! Burn!

Texans games are good for hard-core football fans that have a deep appreciation of the punting game.

Lions' games help build an understanding of the more obscure penalties that can be incurred, as well as providing an in-depth refresher on the more common ones.

Chad Stanley was totally dissed in the Pro Bowl selection last year.

And Seahawk games are for hard-core fans who have a deep appreciation for dropped passes and interceptions.

Man. That was ugly. It's one thing to not have a running game, but it's completely another to pretend you never had one.

Go Huskies.

Niners games demonstrate new and previously unthought of ways to fuck up. I mean, whoever thought of the kickoff return kicking the ball back to the opposing team?

I like long posts from Hank. They're easier to scroll past than the two pages of Hank and Penske that show up every weekend.
Has Taxwonk been mentoring you on how to fight here?

I have some experience with this. I strongly recommend a one-day auction on eBay if you have enough eBay points to do this. If not, I recommend doing some research on eBay and Craigslist, and then putting an ad on craigslist - tickets.

Time is your enemy. You'll get more selling them today than you will game day.
